AP: The head of the U.N. nuclear monitoring agency has
thrown his weight behind a plan calling on Iran to move its uranium enrichment program to Russia, and he may fly to Tehran within days to push for the proposal, a European official and diplomats said Sunday.

Australian Associated Press: The federal government has urged Iran to scrap plans to enrich Iran’s uranium, raising concerns its nuclear ambitions could further destabilise the Middle East.

Reuters: New evidence suggests Iran has made significant progress in its pursuit of nuclear weapons and that should strengthen the case for increasing international pressure on Tehran to end the program, U.S. and European officials say.

New York Times: In mid-July, senior American intelligence officials called the leaders of the international atomic inspection agency to the top of a skyscraper overlooking the Danube in Vienna and unveiled the contents of what they said was a stolen Iranian laptop computer.

Iran Focus: Tehran, Iran, Nov. 12 – An ultra-Islamist ally of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in Iran’s parliament told a conference of the radical Ansar-e Hezbollah group on Saturday that the issue of Iran’s nuclear program “has become the frontline between Islam and the Heathens”, referring to non-Muslims.

Iran Focus: Brussels/London, Nov. 12 – A panel of Euro-MPs called for the immediate referral of Iran’s nuclear dossier to the United Nations Security Council, citing the refusal by Tehran to suspend its nuclear fuel cycle which could lead to the development of a nuclear bomb and the covert nature of its activities.

Reuters: Iran on Saturday insisted upon its right to enrich its own uranium, rebuffing a proposal that Russia should perform the sensitive atomic fuel work to allay fears Tehran is seeking atomic arms.
